Children photographer

Summary of children's photography experience

1. Have enough love and patience.

Love and patience are the basis of taking good photos for children. Children's emotions and behaviors are passive, which makes their attention difficult to last. It is hard for us to imagine that children before the age of three will "pose". Children's feelings are keen and direct, so we must really like children. If you want to shoot good children's photography, you must communicate with your children with your heart. On the other hand, children's expressions are ever-changing, their gestures are always naive, and they are natural performers. Most photos of children at home should be taken by snapshot. I object to letting children go to the photo studio to take so-called "children's photos". Most of these photos are too old-fashioned or artificial.

2. Children's photography is taboo

Children's photography itself is difficult, and there are many taboos in China. For example, children can't take pictures when they sleep. There is a saying that children will have nightmares because of fright, especially the elderly. Of course, this doesn't make much scientific sense. Children can take pictures while sleeping, as long as they are careful not to disturb them. However, if there are old people present, especially when your parents-in-law or parents-in-law are present, don't shoot to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

However, we must pay attention to the use of flash. From a medical point of view, the baby's visual nervous system is not fully developed from birth to three years old, and strong light will have a negative impact on the development of the eye disease system. Therefore, when shooting, try to avoid using flash, and it is best to shoot with natural light. Some stupid automatic cameras will automatically activate the flash when the light is poor, so be sure to pay attention. Older children can shoot with a flash when necessary, but it is also best to fill the light with reflection or add a soft light in front of the flash.

You can shoot anything at any time.

What can children's photography shoot? In fact, in addition to the routine head and bust shooting, all parts of the body can be photographed, such as small hands and feet, which are worth taking pictures as a souvenir.

The typhoon of the model is trained, and the child should also take pictures from an early age, often and constantly, so that he can develop the habit of looking at the camera naturally, unpretentious and generous. You can become a qualified professional family photographer if you shoot more. Pay attention to the timing when shooting children, because beautiful scenes are fleeting, so that children can relax and enjoy themselves, which will be more natural and lively. Digital cameras have no pressure on film consumption, so they can shoot in large quantities at any time.

Step 4 change the shooting angle

Children's photos record their growing experiences and should be multidimensional. The "angle" here has two meanings. One is the shooting angle. There must be at least three angles when shooting, such as shooting at the angle of the child's head up, standing higher, squatting or even lying down. Try to change the vertical angle as much as possible, and also change the shooting distance and focal length of the lens. In addition to full-length or bust, there should be close-ups and prospects. In addition to using a medium telephoto lens, you can also use a wide-angle lens. It's like a movie with more scene changes and more "life".

On the other hand, children should also have rich perspectives. Most of the photos taken by parents for their children are "smiles", which are monotonous and blunt. Children have rich expressions. To record his growth, we must record his joys and sorrows. This is life. Laughing, crying, angry, silent, amazed and grotesque. Most smiling photos are ordinary, and a strange photo may remind the baby of a "story" when he grows up.

5. Make full use of the functions of digital cameras

Nowadays, the functions of digital cameras are more and more abundant, so we should make full use of its unique functions to enrich the fun of children's photography. For example, many of them have the function of fast continuous shooting, which can capture precious pictures that are extremely hilarious to you. You can use the macro function to shoot a close-up of a certain part of your child's body, or you can shoot a shallow depth of field effect, and skillfully use the manual white balance to shoot a wonderful and warm picture.

In addition, many cameras now have the function of shooting digital short films, which can be connected with later software and burned into VCD, which is also very fun. You can also add voice notes to the pictures you take, and it is also meaningful to use them flexibly. After shooting, digital photos can be processed and saved by computer, or sent to be developed or printed.

The photos of children at home may not be loved by others, but many firsts in the baby's life are very memorable and precious memories for future parents. At the end of this article, I want to say a digression. Over the past year or so, in addition to the pleasure of taking pictures of my daughter, it is more difficult to raise. Only when the children are brought up can they know how grateful their parents are. We young people really have to be filial to our parents. No matter how busy we are, we should always "go home and have a look". Don't forget to let our children take more photos with their grandparents.

Matters needing attention in children's photography:

First of all, we should pay attention to the richness of children's facial expressions, the joys and sorrows of children's facial expressions, and every detail can be used as an important element of photography, so the photographic works show different expressions. Vivid.

Second, the light used for photography is mainly natural light, especially indoors, and more large-area windows are opened to increase indoor light, achieving a natural and true effect.

Third, clothing collocation should be coordinated with the surrounding environment, and the colors of clothing should set off each other. At the same time, clothing collocation and color selection should be carried out according to children of different ages, highlighting and beautifying the theme. In terms of props, children's different heights are used as a sentence to choose props. In the choice of background, it changes at any time according to the changes of different scenes.

Precautions for four or six-month-old babies when shooting!

The six-month-old baby has learned to sit. You can also turn over and have more flexible hands and feet. Put a doll in front of the baby, and the baby can hold it for 40 seconds to shoot three expressions.

Shooting: Shooting a six-month-old baby usually requires a crib, because lying on the ground is not only unsanitary, but also difficult to grasp the shooting angle, and it is not convenient to see through. When shooting a baby's prone position, it is generally necessary to shoot in parallel or from top to bottom. You'd better shoot several sets at each angle.

At this stage, the baby usually needs to give him some favorite toys, otherwise he will be impatient, but he will cry after a long time and cry after lying down for a long time. Give him something in your hand. If you lie down for a long time, you will cry. When he meets a grumpy and active baby, we will try our best to calm him down, and the baby will not laugh or be too happy, which will affect the later shooting. You can sing some peaceful songs or talk to him gently.

Six-month-old babies can pass on some casual clothes or wear adult clothes, which is also very interesting.

The baby took pictures for the first time in his life. Although the lighting of the photographic equipment used for shooting has been specially treated, it will not harm his eyes, but the baby will definitely have a strong reaction to the light emitted by the photographic equipment. So, let the baby look at the sunshine outside the window before shooting.

In order to shoot the baby's delicate and smooth skin, a few days before shooting, mothers can apply some baby-specific skin care products to the baby every day to ensure that the baby's skin is full of moisture.

Matters needing attention when shooting 500-day-old baby

When shooting 1, the baby should be comfortable first. If the baby is unhappy, it is necessary to think about whether the posture is bad or the clothes are uncomfortable, or whether the air conditioning temperature is too high. The average baby's good mood is only forty minutes, so the shooting must be completed within 1 hour. Photographers should choose the clothes with the best shooting effect as the beginning, because the baby's best state has just begun and the shooting effect is good.

It is necessary to shoot when your eyes are looking up or up. . 100 baby's posture is more suitable for the picture ratio of 5: 6, so horizontal composition is often used when shooting.

6. Because 100-day-old baby can't sit or lie down, but in order to shoot babies in various forms, one week before shooting, mother should try to let the baby practice lying on the bed, put the baby's two small hands on the baby's chest, pad the baby's head and chest, give her (him) a little height, and let the baby slowly practice looking up. You can also use some brightly colored toys to attract your baby to look up. In addition, contact the baby to sit on the cushion, and the parents hold the baby's waist and head with their hands.
